My husband owns Bomb Footbags and has been working around the clock to get more bags made. I’ve been trying to update his social media (he’s really bad at it haha), so just came on here to answer all the questions he’s been inundated with. He’s had the business for over 20 years, back when he was a high schooler who listened to the Dead and kicked bags around. A very chill dude finding himself in the middle of a very not-chill craze :)

It’s a one-man business, so this new viral trend has him scrambling and trying to answer every email while shipping every single bag he has in stock. He’s hired some friends to help get packages out quickly. Because he doesn’t want to make himself crazy, and doesn’t want to disappoint customers, he’ll be doing daily drops with as many bags as he can pack in one day. He’s hoping for somewhere between 5-6pm PST every day. Any bag you order tonight will go out tomorrow, from CA, so shipping times will depend on where you live via USPS ground (we’re guessing like 3-5 days).

Right now wholesale orders feel impossible, but if you shoot him an email, he can get you on a list for a custom bag that possibly could happen later in the summer.

Also. About every other DM is someone who started a Hacky Sack Club and wants to rep free bags, we’re talking 100 DM/emails daily hoping for something free. We’re not trying to ignore any messages, but paying customers are the priority for the limited numbers of Footbags that he has in stock, sorry.

Hope that answers most of the questions he’s been getting!

74 plus shipping is diabolical 🤣

Just kidding, but seriously wtf is going on where my humble ‘backup/extra’ pile went from 60$ value to over 160$ in value overnight? Why are foot bags suddenly so popular, just curious…

Was wondering if anyone knows if this site is legit, and if their bags are any good

And just like that….my nerdy hobby became a flex. 😎

Thought id share my footbag collection from back when I was in high school in 2004, I used to stitch all my own bags back then. Most are 32 panel and filled with steel shot and plastic pellets. The 4 on the right are purchased and are sand bags. The next picture are of my favorites from the bunch. We used to play at lunch and for hours after school, it was always a blast. So its great to see it gain some popularity these days.
